Greetings, ReillyJohnson96.
I want to make sure you can choose another date when creating an invoice in QuickBooks Desktop.
Let's perform some basic troubleshooting to fix the issue. To start, we can toggle the option under the Preferences section.
Here's how:
1. Click the Edit tab at the top menu.
2. Click Preferences.
3. Go to General.
4. Under Default Date To Use For New Transactions, toggle between the two options.
5. Click OK.
If the problem continues after following the steps above, let's proceed with running the Verify/Rebuild Data Utility tool. This tool will help us detect any data issues going on with the company file.
To verify data:
1. Click the File tab at the top menu.
2. Select Utilities.
3. Click Verify Data.
To rebuild your data:
1. Click the File tab at the top menu.
2. Select Utilities.
3. Click Rebuild data.
